1. Describe briefly the dynamic characteristics of the PI controller, PD controller, and PID
controller.
2. The open loop transfer function of a unity feedback system is given by 𝐺(𝑠) =
2(𝑠+𝑘)
. Sketch the root locus as k varies from zero to infinity. Find the angle and real
𝑠(𝑠+2))𝑠+10)
axis intercept of the asymptotes, breakaway point and imaginary axis crossing points, if
any.
3. In the root locus plot shown in the figure, the pole/zero marks and the arrows have been
removed. Which one of the following transfer functions has this root locus? Drive it.
Theoretically, find the largest values of the gains k1 and k2 that can be set without causing
instability of the closed loop system.

5. Given feedback system with 𝐺(𝑠) = 4 3 ; 𝐻 ( ). Find how many closed-
𝑠 +3𝑠 +10𝑠2 +30𝑠+169 𝑠
loop poles are located in the right half-plane, in the left half-plane, and on the jω-axis.
6. Consider the feedback system shown in Figure below. The process transfer function is
marginally stable. The controller is the PD-controller 𝐺𝑐 (𝑠) = 𝐾𝑝 + 𝑠𝐾𝑑 . Determine if it
is possible to find values of Kp and KD such that the closed-loop system is stable. If so,
obtain values of controller parameters such that the steady-state tracking error 𝐸(𝑠) =
𝑅(𝑠) − 𝑌(𝑠) to a unit step input 𝑅(𝑠) = 1⁄𝑠 is 𝑒𝑠𝑠 = lim 𝑒(𝑡) ≤ 0.1 and the damping of
𝑡→∞
the closed-loop system is 𝜁 = √2/2 .
7. The fuel control for a car uses a diesel pump that is subjected to parameter variations. A
unity negative feedback has a loop transfer function
𝐾(𝑠 + 2)
𝐺(𝑠) =
(𝑠 + 1)(𝑠 + 2.5)(𝑠 + 4)(𝑠 + 10)
Sketch the root locus as K varies from 0 to 2000.
9. The input error voltage to a PD-controller, is shown in figure. Find the output voltage of
the controller e0
10. For the circuit shown in Figure, find the values of R2 and C to yield 8% overshoot with a
settling time of 1 ms for the voltage across the capacitor, with vi(t). as a step input.
